The Great Trench War

Battle for Middle-earth II mod |

Mod Features: Resource Management: The resource management in The Great Trench War will be considerably different from the vanilla BFMEII. With the objective of making the process as realistic as possible without disturbing the smooth play of BFME, mines and tree harvesting will be replaced with railroads whereby the player captures railway stations. Trains are then dispatched at regular intervals to supply the goods required for construction and unit training.

These can be occupied by soldiers, provide valuable protections, but can be crossed by other units so do not form a solid barrier against a determined opponent.


In other news, pictures from the EA Games Convention is Leipzig can be found here. Unfortunately TGTW was unable to attend with the rest of the Frontline18 team, but we intend to rectify that situation next year!
